Club promises better life

As a result of the hardship many families are going through in the country, the newly installed President of the Ikeja Golden Lions Club, Dr Eniola Ogunsanlu has promised that her administration would focus on projects that would make positive impacts on people’s lives.

Ogunsanlu and other members of the executive who were sworn into office last week at Etal Hall, Kudirat Abiola Way, Oregun, Lagos, noted that social organisations must assist their communities in order to cope well with life challenges.

She said: “Our club intends to impact on our world by giving hope to the Nigerian child. So far, our activities are basically to make life good for the communities we live in. We visited our paraplegic friend and supplied her with foodstuff and clothing, both for sale and for her family’s upkeep.”

Emphasising the need to effect some changes in the lives of the ordinary people, Ogunsanlu hinted that her tenure would sink boreholes at the Ojodu Junior Secondary School and Agege Main Market.

Explaining further, she said the club would empower professional deaf and dumb businessmen and women in the society and pursue the completion of the club’s house to serve as a comfortable place for its members for both social and official engagements.

While urging public-spirited individuals and corporate organisations to support the club to enable it to carry out the programmes lined up, the president assured that the club would purchase an 18-seater bus to enable it to move around.

In the same manner, the District Governor of the Club, Mrs Stella Agbogun who advised the newly inaugurated members to be focussed in the discharge of their social responsibilities, explained that issues concerning the Nigerian child should take the front burner in its activities.

According to her, the Nigeria child is exposed to lots of challenges and uncertainties because of circumstances beyond them. It was therefore, important for all hands to be on deck to safeguard the future of the Nigerian child.

She urged the new executive to pay special attention to membership, “ensure your members are highly satisfied and not shrinking so that the club can be on the high side with programmes that will encourage others outside.”

Agbogun remarked that the election of the new executive was a testimony of the trust and confidence reposed in them. “Your club is one of the most active clubs in the district. I therefore trust that you will justify this confidence and take Lionism to greater heights.”
